What a wonderful experience! Tom is just as great as the birds he loves and breeds. We took home Solar and Telfi a couple of months ago and they have been a fantastic addition to our family. They are so cute when we hold them and love to fly around our living room. They love attention and get jealous of each other if one feels the other is getting to much! The relationship between us and the birds continues to grow, I am so excited to have them and they have far exceeded my expectations as a pet! Just follow Toms instructions and the birds will do the rest. The birds are such beautiful creatures inside and out! Thanks again Tom!﻿

In January my then almost 12 year old daughter and I traveled to West Brookfield to buy a pair of lovebirds from Tom Morway's aviary, "Lovebirds on the Common." Three months later the birds are flourishing in our home and have become part of the family. We were beyond impressed with the attention he gave to us in helping us to select the right two birds and instructing us on how to best care for them. We spent about two hours at his store examining the many birds available for purchase until we found the ones just right for us. Mr. Morway was then extremely generous with his time in educating my daughter and me about every aspect of how to care for the birds, from food, to maintaining a good environment for them, and even how to safely clip their wings.

His love and dedication to the birds is evident and we feel very fortunate to have purchased our birds from such a caring expert on Love Birds. He was also very generous. When he could have simply sold us an empty cage. instead he filled it with many bird toys to create a delightful place to be the new home of our birds.

It would be hard to imagine a better place to buy lovebirds than "Lovebirds on the Common" in West Brookfield, MA.

I just wanted to thank you again for the absolutely beautiful lovebirds I bought from you. You certainly have "the golden touch" when it comes to raising and selling such beautiful and loving birds. It didn't take long at all before Special and Horizon, now (Lucy and Goosey) took to their new home. They are happy and healthy and doing just great in their new home. I just want anyone out there who is thinking about adopting a pair of lovebirds that Tom is the go to guy. His love and compassion for all his birds are unsurpassed, and when you visit, and see how he interacts with each and every bird the love he has is so visible. He insures that all birds are sent home with the very best food and is available anytime to help with feeding or general care of your birds. I would not hesitate to recommend Lovebirds on the Common to anyone who would love to adopt friendly, loving and very well taken care of birds. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Tom!﻿ Laura from Watertown

I was lucky enough to find Tom and Lovebirds On The Common while doing a Google search for available Lovebirds in the Boston area. I was having a hard time finding three pair in the city, but Tom’s assortment of available birds was fantastic. I wanted three bonded pair, that all looked different. Tom explained to me that you can’t just throw the birds together and hope for the best, so he spent a lot of time finding just the right combination of birds that would get along. Over the course of several weeks, and some trial and error, Tom was able to find three pair that all got along, and over the course of time it took to find the perfect trio of pairs, Tom was in constant communication with me, all the while educating me on the proper care of the birds. Not only did he display great care and love for his birds, he went above and beyond by delivering them to me in Boston, and with the birds he brought a Goody-bag of assorted toys, plenty of food to get me started and even a book on how to care for them!

I now have three beautiful pair of Lovebirds, who all get along and are happy and healthy. I think any other breeder would have just sold me the birds, collected the money, and then be off to the next customer. But even after the sale, Tom has been in contact to check up on their well being and has left the door open for any questions I may have.

If you’re looking for beautiful, happy and healthy Lovebirds, as well as a great experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom and Lovebirds On The Common.﻿

I visited *Lovebirds on the common* aviary on 7/31/14! what a great place it is! A aviary that is filled with happy, friendly, healthy lovebirds! It was a pleasure to be among the sweet lovebirds! "Tom", is a great person, very welcoming & friendly who keeps a aviary very clean! you can tell, his lovebirds adore & love him & he loves his lovebirds too! he has a great wealth of knowledge concerning lovebirds, that no pet shop can duplicate!I did lots of research on lovebirds & visited lots of pet stores! "Tom's" aviary is far the best place to buy fabulous lovebirds! "Tom", has a great knowledge on the feeding of lovebirds & I was amazed on how he makes his special blend of lovebird food & how he uses fresh vegetables & puts them in a food processor to add to their food! he told me how to prepare the vegetables, which vegetables to use & amounts to use & wrote it down for me, as I was new to preparing vegetables for lovebirds! I even went to the store & bought a food processor, to prepare the vegetables for my lovebirds! I never even owned a food processor before! I bought some of "Tom's", *Special Bird food* & will feed them exactly like "Tom" does! I bought a pair of lovebirds from "Tom", named "orphan & hazzlebutter" & love them! "Tom", was very helpful in preparing my lovebirds for travel home & carried their cage to my car for me & put their cage securely in the passenger seat for me! He even called my house before I left to ask me to bring a sheet with me, to cover the cage so the lovebirds would feel secure on the way home! "Tom", told me I could call him anytime, if I had any questions! "Tom", called me at home, to make sure we arrived home safely how the lovebirds were doing in their new home! no pet store gives you that kind of personal attention! I am seriously considering buying another bonded pair of lovebirds from "Tom"! If your seriously looking for fabulous lovebirds, visit "Tom's Aviary"! (Winnie Kelly,Fall River,Ma)﻿

My experience with Lovebirds on the Common was nothing short of extraordinary. Tom is the most amazing resource on Lovebirds you are likely to ever encounter, if you are lucky enough to discover his aviary. The aviary is a wonder and his lovebirds are the happiest, healthiest lovebirds you will ever find, anywhere. Tom lives and breathes lovebirds - he is one with his birds and it is clearly evident. I doubt another resource exists that is as knowledgable as Tom on the subject of Lovebirds. He adores his birds and his birds adore him. How he manages to keep them all so happy and healthy and in such an amazingly clean and stimulating environment is a wonder. I spent the entire afternoon there looking at all the lovebirds, of which there are many, many, many...and Tom knew every single personality. He knows and loves his Lovebirds. There were so many beautiful birds I couldn't decide and FINALLY settled on a bonded foursome and a young beautiful bonded pair - yes, 6 lovebirds in all! I found it impossible to pick only two. Tom answered every question I had and then set to work gathering all the essentials they would need for transport and immediate care - they traveled in their original cages complete with toys, hideaways, food, water, cuddle bones - you name it, they have it. Tom even gave a lesson on the proper diet and how to make it and provided all the ingredients to get me started! We all traveled home together and he followed up to be sure everyone made it home safe and sound. Finding my new friends was such an amazing experience and Lovebirds on the Common is a treasure! There is quite simply no other place to even consider if your purchasing a lovebird. Truly remarkable birds. Truly remarkable Tom! I'm thrilled with my new companions!!! Ann S. (Harpswell, Maine)﻿

Nana 6/16/14﻿

I bought a pair of lovebirds from Tom as a gift for my mother on Mother’s Day. It was an awesome experience. When I first stepped into the aviary, I felt like I was in a bird heaven. All of the lovebirds look very happy and healthy.

Tom helped me choose the perfect pair for my mother. Both birds have different characteristics in them. However, they’re both very beautiful, friendly, smart, funny, and affectionate lovebirds. My mother is very happy and said that this is the best gift she has ever gotten.

Tom taught me how to interact with the birds and had given me helpful advices on how to handle them. Also, he is an expert on their food diet.Tom is not just any breeder. He is very affectionate towards all of his birds...almost like a parent. I watched him say goodbye to the birds I purchased. At that moment, I felt bad for taking his babies away.

If you’re considering adding a pair of lovebirds to your family, I highly recommend Tom at Lovebirds On The Common. - Nana﻿

Mary & Scott 6/11/14

After losing our Peach faced Lovebird, our green masked Lovebird was very lonely and stopped singing as we expected. I looked around just about everywhere and could not find any Lovebirds. I wanted to find him another mate just as soon as I found someone that had healthy, young birds. I searched and searched and finally found the where with all to google Lovebirds, and then I found Tom.

Tom Morway owns and runs a beautiful, spotless, professional aviary in West Brookfield, my Mother's hometown! How many times do I drive into that beautiful little town in Eastern Ma and never knew that he existed! So I emailed Tom and made an appointment to meet him and his birds.

A few days later my husband and I visited Tom in his beautifully decorated Colonial home off of the lovely Common in West Brookfield. We were in for such a treat! Tom is very inviting and he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to his birds. We spent a great deal of time talking about the birds, their diet, ( which Tom makes homemade) and their likes and dislikes, their quirks, and personalities, it was just wonderful to learn all these new things about the birds that we had had for over 10 years. We rescued a pair of Love birds in Vt , who were in a small cage in the hot sun at a tag sale that my sister had happened upon. What wonderful birds, and now I could never live without their song and their antics .

So, Tom took a great deal of time introducing us to his many pairs of birds, and advised us on a pair that were young and may accept another bird in their environment. He was spot on! We bought the young, 5 month old pair that he suggested would work. We kept their cages side by side for a week and then put them in our large parrot cage together.....It was a weekend of course, so that we could watch them and make certain that they would accept one another, and after a day or two , they were fast friends.

It is so wonderful to see "Pocket" enjoying life again and playing with his new friends, I am so thankful to Tom for his expertise and care. Tom's aviary is so beautiful, full of light and bright toys, music, the sound of a fountain, bubbling in the corner, and these are the things that we have in our home so the birds felt at home right away, we believe.

Tom spent a great deal of time explaining his feeding regimen and I was delighted to learn that I can buy my food from him and he will ship everywhere! Tom showed me how to grind up veggies to add to the special mixture that he feeds. He also feeds a separate fruity mixture that smells just divine.

Now "Pocket " is hooked, and he gobbles his new gourmet diet down, no more bland seed for him!

Scott and I highly recommend Tom for anyone that is looking for a professional , aviary with beautiful , healthy and happy birds. He is also so commited to his birds, that he is ready to offer medical advice for the birds in case of an ailment.

I look forward to a very long relationship with Tom and "Lovebirds on the Common" and am looking forward to future birds from this splendid aviary. Way to go Tom!! from, Scott and Mary Holloway, Colrain, MA

Carol 6/10/14

The Sunday we drove out to West Brookfield from Hingham was a memorable day, Not only were we amazed at Tom’s “enterprise” , we were fascinated by the extent of his knowledge about Lovebirds and their care. Tom told us about the time an Avian vet came out to visit and remarked that she had never seen so many healthy and happy birds !! It’s true- the care and attention these Lovebirds receive is remarkeable to witness. We learned an enormous amount from Tom about how to improve the quality of life for not only the birds we were buying that day , but , also the one lovebird we had at home who had lost his/her mate.

When Tom says he is available 24/7 for consultation, I believe he means it!

Doug and Leslie 5/22/14

After perusing his website we drove for three hours to get to Tom, at Lovebirds On The Common. Fortunately we were not disappointed. Even though we arrived late in the day, he didn't hurry us. We spent nearly four hours choosing the right pair of Lovebirds. Tom's place is alive [180 Lovebirds] with color and song; an obvious haven for every one of "his" birds. Finally we chose a pair of emerald green Black Cheeked Lovebirds and Tom readied a cage with any and all the supplies we needed to get started.

Our birds have settled in nicely. They are singing more, eating, and excited with their environment. Thanks Tom! We learned alot in the four hours we spent choosing. Of course that is in part to the fact that we ask lots of questions. All of which Tom was happy to answer.

Sincerely,

Doug and Leslie

From Mario and Greta 3/2/14

Our experience with Lovebirds On The Common was just great. Tom truly loves each of the pairs and it really shows by how well kept the place is, how healthy and happy the lovebirds are and by how he cares for them even after they have been adopted by another family. We would highly recommend this aviary to anyone who is serious about really taking care of a pair of lovebirds. The shopping experience and the wonderful birds that we go have made all thedifference. Thank you!

Our daughter Kelly, had been very interested in getting a pet lovebird for quite some time. We searched and searched the internet without much success but finally came across Lovebirds on the Common Aviary. We called Tom and he went out of his way to meet with us on a Sunday evening as we traveled back from visiting our family in Connecticut. When we arrived we were astonished at the extent of his aviary. Tom was very friendly and provided great insight with regard to caring for lovebirds, much more so than any information we had previously found through our research. We were very moved by his true love for these birds. We also fell in love with the love birds and decided to get a pair on the spot. We came back the next weekend and picked up Lexi and Lolex, our new pet love birds. The same night we brought our birds home, Tom called to make sure that everything was going OK and gave us more advise and answerd any questions that we had. If you are interested in lovebirds, there is only one place to go - Tom's Lovebirds on the Common in West Brookfield, Mass. We are so happy with our lovebirds and have Tom to thank for the joy his birds have brought to our family.Thanks,

Angelo. (Philadelphia, PA) 10/11/2013After owning a pair of Lovebirds for a few years now, I felt it was time to add two more. I came across Tom's website and was very pleased to find not only a lot of good information but also got a good sense that he knows how to do it well. Getting Lovebirds from Tom has been a wonderful experience from the very beginning. All the information, pictures and videos from the website, along with Tom's availability and willingness to explain and answer my questions helped me decide to make the 5 1/2 hour long drive to Massachusetts. I thought I would get there and be on my way home after an hour or so , tops!, but I was wrong. The set-up, number, and diversity of Lovebirds he has is great; and clean too. Even though Tom had already set aside a bonded pair closely resembling what I was looking for, now I found myself walking around for a while scratching my head wondering which of all these beautiful bird pairs to take home with me. Tom explained the story behind every single bird in his aviary; It's amazing how Tom can keep up with all that. Tom also went over the blend of seeds, pellets and fresh vegetables he feeds his birds daily for me to learn the blend and do it at home. So two hours later I realized that even though I've owned Lovebirds for a few years, in my mind now I thought I knew nothing compared to Tom; he shared some really good info in that little while. I ended adopting the two Tom had set aside for me originally. But one of the things that stuck with me the most was how Tom took the time to handle, talk, and kiss each one of the two when saying goodbye to them before we left. Breezee and Tip are doing well and adjusting just fine in their new home. Thanks Tom!

I can't thank you enough for making our visit and purchase of beautiful Lila and Mazey so special. Bella was so suprised, you went above and beyond for us. You, your home and your beautiful birds are unique and wonderful, we all enjoyed the visit and look forward to coming again.

We are having so much fun with Lila and Mazey, they immediately became part of our family. They are so fun to talk to, listen to and watch play. When they are in Bella's room they are free to play and fly some and they sing their hearts out. We love them! I can now understand why you have a house full!Thank you again Tom for giving my daughter this wonderful surprise !

Can't say enough wonderful things about Tom and his aviary! I have purchased about 7 birds and all are healthy and very playful and loving.Tom couldn't be more helpful with all his wonderful tips and if you have questions after you get home or anytime all you have to do is call him.If you want lovebirds, this is the place to call.

If you are looking for lovebirds, this is the place. It is the cleanest aviary I've ever seen with healthy, happy and very pretty birds. The breeder truly cares about his animals and will help you with every detail. The birds already come paired, which is an essential and difficult task (as lovebirds are very particular on choosing their partners). Although lovebirds "can" survive alone, they will not be happy when the humans are away, so paired birds are an ideal (and unselfish) choice for people that work during the day. There can't be a better place to get lovebirds.

Ashley E3/11/2012

We just bought our lovebirds from Lovebirds on the Common and it was such a wonderful experience. Tom really took the time to show us all of the birds and select the pair that would fit with our family. He was extremely patient with us while we took up almost two hours of his time to find our birds. He was very knowledgeable about their behaviors and diets. He even took the time to call us after we got home to see how they were doing and to give us some helpful advice. I really recommend this Aviary to anyone looking for Lovebirds.

Tom has a great selection of lovebirds! He was very knowledgeable when it came to their behaviors, diets, and personalities. All of the birds were happy and healthy and certainly reflects the breeders passion for these animals. If you're looking for great birds, definitely take a look at Lovebirds on the Common!

Hello Tom,

I just wanted to thank you again for letting my husband, Bill, and I visit you and your aviary. It was as beautiful and enchanting as I thought it would be. I am so impressed with the quality of your birds, the cleanliness of the aviary, and I especially loved the food you make and use (I am going to try desperately to copy it!). It was obvious that you care a great deal for all of your babies, and I just loved that about you.

Tom has a wide selection of paired lovebirds. This was very important to me and my family because growing up I raised a lovebird which was not paired when I got her and even though I tried to find her a mate she never took to any other lovebird. She lived for 15 years alone. Tom takes the time to pair the birds before he sells them. Now I have 2 wonderful, fun, healthy, lovebirds named Circus and Carnival. My kids love them so much. Tom took his time with us and told us all of their favorite foods and how to make them. He even gave me fresh butternut squash for them. He checks on them to see if they are adapting to the new environment. You could not ask for more. Commercial pet stores will never give you this much service. I say it s worth the drive!

Haley Posted on 10/08/12

I recently went to Toms Aviary, such a wonderful place! I traveled all the way from New Bedford due to such horrid experiences around here and lack of resources. Tom was very helpful and kind, and explained about each bird in great detail, very impressive. Whereas most pet stores I feel are uninterested in the birds and just put them in cages , and dont know/ care to know much about them. Those birds were scared of everything some were sick , toms birds were so happy. Not afraid and most importantly healthy! I purchased 2 beautiful healthy birds and food specially made by Tom which I will be using on all my birds from now on, its simply the best and is made especially for lovebirds. In my past experiences I have searched desperately for food all over, and none can compare to Toms. I totally 110% recommend this to anyone looking to add an addition to there family , for beautiful healthy birds- or even to purchace his one of a kind food. - Haley

We purchased our lovebirds through Tom and had a wonderful experience. Tom has a wealth of knowledge of lovebirds and spent considerable time helping us choose them. He explained their habits, how to properly take care of them, and the types of food to provide optimum health. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the surroundings. I would recommend Tom to anyone looking to purchase lovebirds. "Lori"

Linda 4-12-2013

"Awesome experience in getting our first pets. We are very happy with the service Aviary-Amore provided. Not only did we enjoy the experience of being able to select our lovebirds but also each question my husband and I had was answered. The customer service is wonderful. We could not have asked for a better experience."

Thank you so much, Tom!

Kathy & Greg 5-5-2013

Greg and I felt as if we were in lovebird heaven when we visited your wonderful aviary last Sunday! Thanks so much for being so generous with your time and knowledge, as well as for letting us enjoy the company of your beautiful lovebirds. (You were right though - on the way home we were missing our lovebird so much!)

Thanks also for the food you kindly gave us. I am trying to get our parrotlet to accept this nutritious diet. So far he squawks until I put Nutriberries in his food dish, but I will keep trying... (He is quite a spoiled little creature of habit : )

Anyway, you certainly have the most amazing group of lovebirds we have ever seen - or probably ever will see! It was an incredible experience for us.Thanks again for letting us visit,

Kathy and Greg

Dalia & Juan 8-7-2013

Dear Mr. Tom, We want to thank you so much for the adorable pair of Love Birds we purchased from you. Today and Drizzle are doing excellent. Mom absolutely loved them. They are very playful and Today seems to be the more aggressive than Drizzle. We must say that you do keep a very clean and environmentally safe sanctuary for the birds. It was a complete pleasure to have gone there. It was worth the trip. Even though we were misguided, we made it there. Lol Tom, your knowledge and expertise was very helpful in our decision to buying the Love Birds. We do highly recommend for others to come to The Love Birds on The Common. We will be sending you pictures soon of our Newest editions to our family. Today & Drizzle. ThankYou, Dalia andJuan Lawrence

Erin 6/9/16

In 2015, my bird Sidhiel lost his mate, Meleth. I searched high and low to find him a mate, which I found in a friends bird. Sadly, this bird had lead poisoning and passed away within a month. So, Sidh lost 2 mates in just a couple of months! Now Sidh was plucking. Back to the search...

I was having no luck finding him a mate. Pet stores weren't carrying lovebirds, or they were sold out for the season. Nobody had one that needed a new home. We called everywhere, including numerous vets in Eastern Massachusetts. That is how we found Tom! He was recommended by 3 different vets in the Boston area. I gave him a call and explained our situation.

He invited me to come to Lovebirds On The Common to meet his birds. We then decided to try getting Sidh some friends, as he is of unknown age (anywhere between 9 and 15 years old), instead of his own mate. Home came Annie and Train. This worked for a few weeks, then Sidh went back to plucking. So Tom asked if I would drop Sidh off so he could pick out a new mate. While he was gone, Annie and Train staked out territory...

Tom did it right, Sidh was gone for a couple weeks and then we came home with Rain, Sidhs new "lady-love". Even with 2 cages, war was on. Sidh came first, so I was forced to, very sadly, return Annie and Train. We came home with Ellie and Lovely. Within 24 hours, they chose to move into Sidh and Rains cage. I forced them out for a few days, but they were getting along so well, I started to allow it. Now all 4 birds live together in harmony.

Tom is absolutely amazing. He is there to answer your questions at any time. He taught me so many things that the birds love. He taught me how to make their special diet, which my Sidh took to right away! He has gained weight and looks so much brighter now. And with his new family, thanks to Toms help, he is thriving.

Hi Tom I enjoyed visiting your aviary on Friday. The birds are beautiful and everything is so clean and cheerful. The pair I brought home are doing great. They are very healthy and happy. You were so helpful and provided healthy food and lots of toys!! Thank you so much...we are enjoying our new babies.
